In response LegionZero, I would wish to clarify that I was not intending to condemn religion as a whole. I only intended that to be directed at fundamentalist interpretations of religion (Ex: ISIS for Islam, KKK and Westboro for Christianity to name a few). To paraphrase one individual who made this statement (On Youtube), for which is likely lost now due the video it was made in response to being taken down, religion is like a medicine, poison, and junk food all at the same time.

For the sake of staying on focused on DMC related matters, why would resurrecting Vergil be a bad thing? I can understand to some extent about the concern of it "Cheapening" his death, but I believe it can still open up plenty of possibilities for storylines in the DMC universe. Perhaps it can be done in a manner similar to Supernatural in which sure the main characters get to be resurrected, but it is only to suffer through more and more torturous, depressing crap wishing they could, to paraphrase the lyrics from Kansas' Carry on Wayward Son, just rest in peace when they're done. Maybe DMC could start adding some Supernatural, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Metal Gear style Post-Modernist Meta Fiction elements too.

In addition, I would also have to disagree with your implications that Vergil is pure evil. Sure he's an Anti-Villain with a dark gray shade of morality but not completely blotted out darkness (keep in mind the reason he wanted to gain as much power in the first place was because he never wanted to be powerless, like he was when Eva was killed, ever again). Though some could go so far that it is not black and white at all, but more like what some may call "blue and orange morality", or an alien since of ethics that only seems evil by a Human standpoint. Whereas Dante operates under Human morality (egalitarian treatment of other others), Vergil chooses to work under the ethics of Demon morality (survival of the fittest, "Might controls everything. And without strength you cannot protect anything; let alone yourself.")
